Mozilla Firefox 1.0.5 (Final) + Firefox 1.1 Alpha 2

New features in Firefox include:
-Easy migration: Switching to Firefox has never been easier now that

Firefox imports data like Favorites, history, settings, cookies and

passwords from Internet Explorer. Firefox can also import settings

from Mozilla 1.x, Netscape and Opera.
-Smaller Download: Continuing efforts to make this the most efficient

browser, the Windows version of Firefox is now only a 4.7 MB download,

making downloading Firefox a breeze for dial-up and broadband users

alike.
-New Default Theme: A new default theme provides a bright new look for

Windows and Linux users.
SmartUpdate: A new SmartUpdate feature notifies users of new versions

of Firefox to ensure that the browser is always up to date.
-Help: A new online help system makes this one powerful, friendly

browser.
-Extension/Theme Manager: New Extension and Theme Managers provide a

convenient and secure way to manage and update the hundreds of add-ons

that set Firefox apart from other browsers.
Mozilla Firefox also includes numerous bug fixes and incremental

improvements, including faster page load speed.
-Popup Blocking
Stop annoying popup ads in their tracks with Firefox's built in popup

blocker.
-Tabbed Browsing
View more than one web page in a single window with this time saving

feature. Open links in the background so that they're ready for

viewing when you're ready to read them.
-Smarter Search
Google Search is built right into the toolbar, and there are a

plethora of other search tools including Keywords (type "dict " in the

Location Bar), and FastFind (start typing the first few letters of

some text in the page and Firefox takes you there).
-Privacy and Security
Built with your Security in mind, Firefox keeps your computer safe

from malicious spyware by not loading harmful ActiveX controls. A

comprehensive set of privacy tools keep your online activity your

business.
-Hassle-Free Downloading
Files you download are automatically saved to your Desktop so they're

easy to find. Fewer prompts mean files download quicker.
-Fits Like a Glove
Simple and intuitive, yet fully featured, Firefox has all the

functions you're used to - Bookmarks, History, Full Screen, Text

Zooming to make pages with small text easier to read, etc.
-S M L XL XXL XXXL
Firefox is the most customizable browser on the planet. Customize your

toolbars to add additional buttons, install new Extensions that add

new features, add new Themes to browse with style, and use the

adaptive search system to allow you to search an infinite number of

engines. Firefox is as big or small as you want.
-Setup's a Snap
At only 4.7MB (Windows), Firefox only takes minutes to download over a

fast connection. The installer gets you set up quickly, and the new

Easy Transition system imports all of your settings - Favorites,

passwords and other data from Internet Explorer and other browsers -

so you can start surfing right away.
-A Developer's Best Friend
Firefox comes with a standard set of developer tools including a

powerful JavaScript and CSS error/warning console, and an optional

Document Inspector that gives unheard of insight into how your pages

work.
-Read Mail—Not Spam.

This is great news always loved firefox but switched to maxthon because of security issues discussed in so many forums. So now i shift back to Firfox. Till the next flaw and so on..................
Life ..........using a browser is tough. Does that mean we need to constantly keep a lot of browsers all the time. But seriously how many browsers does one keep on an average;;;
1.Internet explorer
2.Firefox
3.Maxthon - currently using and loving it......
4.Opera -- still not installed but downloaded.

Huh? Not really, you have an official macromedia flash plugin for mozilla, but I think digit CD's have some internet explorer specific functions.
